Should I get the Metal Gear Solid games

What do you guys think of the Metal Gear Solid games? I saw mgs5 and it looks so cool < and i know they have the legacy collection so i can play them all. The only thing is I have heard the story is confusing and hard to follow. So are the games worth playing or is ok if i skip them.

I wholeheartedly recommend you pick up the legacy collection before MGS5 arrives. Yea the story is a bit trippy at some points, but if you play the games in order and devote your full attention to what's happening, you should be alright. Even if you don't fully understand the story, you have the internet to help you with that. But, even just for the amazing gameplay these games are worth playing.
